Sowing Wheat with Timothy.

Prof. Forbes gives the following account
of an experiment reported to him:
A field of twenty eight acres was sown to
wheat in the fall of 1874, when the chinch
bugs were innumerable throughout all this
region-twenty acres with timothy and the
remaining eight without, timothy being
sown in the latter in spring. This eight
acre plot, like the rest In every respect
except that mentioned, was overwhelming
ly infested by the clinch bug, the grain at
harvest yielding only seven bushels per
acre, while the twenty acres, bearing a
thrifty growth of fall timothy, remained
wholly unaffected, except for short dis
lance adjoining the other plot, and yielded
an average of twenty bushels to the acre.
The latter wheat seld as mo. l" at 81 per
cents.

appearance. They are then elongated,
active creatures, generally covered with
bristles, and OF various colors. Like the
adults, they prey upon other insects, being
especially fond OF plant-lice, small insects
of which the ''greenfy" of house plants is
a representative. have frequently taken
young lady-beetles on plum trees infested
by these plant-lice and have seen them
when confined eat the lice greedy. They
also abound on cherry trees infested by
plsnt-lice, and are one of the principal
agents in destroying these pests.

Ways of MIX Wasting,
New York Tribune

IL is common to dry up cows three or
four months before calviDg. In many cases
they dry up without any effort on the part
OF the owner. This Is the habit OF natives
more than Of thoroughbreds. The Jerseys
hold on to their milk longer than any
other breed, and this propensity comes
from their being MIXED as long as they
will give any. No doubt this characteristic
can be fixed by Just this sort OF practice
continued from year to year aud genera
ton to generation. They will keep on
giving milk up TO the time of calviug, even
though the food be poor. There are sew
eTsl Jerseys on Kirby homestead which
have never been dry since the first cali, be-
fore they were two years old. The old
fashioned notion to milk onlv IN the
yield in winter is a mistake. IL worth
milking 81 all, q COW Is worth milking
twice a day. She will not only give
more, but the milk will be OF a great
deal better quality. IL does not do
milk any good TO remain in the
pdder 80 many hours after IL Is secreted,
and IL does not do the COW any good. inst
why the last milk drawn is the best Is un-
explained. We know IL Is the richest, and
IL the reason is because IL is the last Sc.
ereted, then the twenty.four-hour rule OF
milking is poor one in more than one
sense-poor I'm quantity and quality. The
law OF stimulation holds good in milking,

Crushing the Can.

The most degrading influence which
destroys the prosperity and peace of
the laboring classes is caused by the
use of beer by private families. crush
ing the cam for beer at all hours of the
day and the major portion of the night
is becoming vice which must be leg
islated against.
Through the vicious habit of bring
ing beer into families every member of
the household becomes addicted to the
use of the degrading stimulant. While
such vice is nurtured at home, the
children as they grow up, must neces-
sarily become natural drunkards.
In addition to the natural depravity
which is brought about by the excessive
indulgence in beer the health as well
as prosperity of the community is en-
dangered. Some twenty years ago the
use of beer was not so dangerous as it
is to-day. At that period the principal
ingredient used in its manufacture was
hops, while now the brewers use glu-
cose, rice and marble dust, and have to
depend largely on the druggists to furn-
ish necessary drugs to take the place of
hops. The physicians claim that seven-
eights of all the kidney troubles now
prevalent in this country found their
origin through the excessive use of the
spurious beer in use during the past few
years. - Chicago Star, |

The fawn was pretty little crea-
ture, with hair as smooth and sleek as
that on a lady's head. 1t was of a

they seemed to be the windows of a

the little fawn tapping its milk from a

us all by sudden exclamation of sur

There she is! There she is now!
See, papa, she is waiting for the fawn. :"
We all turned to see the canse OF
Jim's sudden surprise. Right 10 front
of the house, standing underneath a
huge chestnut tree, was the doe and
mother of our little pet. She was look
ing wistfully at us, rs much as to say
that she was now ready to receive her
charge from us again. Back of her,
but nearer to the edge of the forest,
stood her mate, apparently in considers
BILE doubt about the issue of the does
mission.
The fawn had not yet seen its mother,
but was quietly tapping its milk, as if
unconscious of any thing else in the
world. | took the little creature in my
arms, and went to the door with it
where it could see it's mother. A joy
full recognition was almost simaltan-
eously made between the two, snd the
next moment the mother was licking
the fawn's fur lovingly. The AVN re-
turned the token of lovely leaping about
on the grass, and starring toward the
house again with every sign of affection.
The mother manifested her pleasure
in as open a manner. She played and
frolicked with the little one for several
minutes, and then Looked at us with
her great hazel eyes, thanking us for
our kindness. The two soon after
trotted off together and disappeared
in the forest.
We had named the fawr Pet, and al
though we were able topet the little
creature only once in great while,
we always spoke of it as one of our own
friends. We lived on tb farm until
the little creature grew Up, and. before
we left, she brought anoher little fawn
to us, her own, which sh exhibited to
us with all the signs of notherly atfcc-

OUR NATIONAL WEALTH.

The United States tie Most Prosperous
Nation on the Globo.
Nations are now taking rank in the
order of their wealth. For it is wealth
that creates greatarmies, builds power
full navies, provides Invaluable defenses,
schools soldiers, establishes institutions
of learning, projects and executes great
enterprises. Wealth is the expression
of what people has accomplished.
The nations of the old world had an
immense start of the United States in
the amount of wealth they had accumu-
lated when the country became an indie
pendent government. Their cities we're
built, their bridges were then over their
streams, their castles were constructed,
their dwellings for working people were
built, their fields were cultivated, their
vineyards were bearing, their orchards
were yielding fruit, their factories were
established. All this represented the
accumulated wealth of many centuries.
The United States began with nothing,
or nearly nothing. The people of this
country have now worked a century.
The United States is now the richest
nation on the globe
The following table from Mulhall' s
book showing the wealth of the princi-
pal nations of the world gives the
United States the first rank:

Items for WOrkmen.

Mr.. White Mortimer, the British
Vice-Consul at Los Angeles, Califor-
MIA, is troubled in his mind at the
number of letters he receives from
England inquiring about the prospects
of English people as settlers. Some
one who had passed three months and
a day in the country to complete his
information spoke glowingly of the
Pacific slope Arcadia. There was no
one idle, everybody was happy, con-
tented and prosperous, and there was
room for more. In the soft, sensuous
sunshine of this vineyard region the
weary emigrant might repose under
his orange groves and fig trees in idyl-
lie charm of existence.
Any such dreams are rudely dis
PEELED by MIR. Mortimer. Capital
lists, skilled mechanics, domestic SER
wants and laborers are the classes
who make money. Inferentially, the
clerk the shiftless nondescript with
out trade, and disinclined for hard
work the lazy, unadaptive man; the
aimless "bummer," may avoid the
expense Of an entry in state into Los
Angeles" The Vice-Consul recon-
mends Englishmen to go to English
colonies, but if they will settle in the
United States he urges them to adapt
themselves without loss of time to the
"ways, habits and customs Of the
Americans" He does good service in
uttering a note Of warming against
accepting the roseate statements Of
railway agents, who may, without
much sacrifice of wealth, offer as
much land as an English county to a
few individuals, if the land is as
worthless as the Nubian Desert

1t sometimes gets little windy

from the Tucson Citizen of the 7th
inst. indicates:
ssThe most terrific rain storm that
has been experienced here for years
struck Tucson this afternoon. The
first premonition of what was coming
were the great clouds of dust that ap-
parently arose ON the plains between
here and Fort Lowell, and as they
gradually approached the city like a
dense brown fog bank the wind in
creased to a hurricane. About 3 80 it
struck the city with great violence,
breaking in windows and unroofng
houses. The Citizen building, on ac-
count of its height, was among the first
to suffer. Signs were blown down and
the entire east end of the building
unroofed. The Cosmopolitan Jared
worse, as almost the entire roof
ing over the Masonic Hall was
torn off and piled in the street in
front of Leo Goldschmidt's furniture
store. The immense show windows
in the northeast corner of l.. Zenken-
dorf & Co.'s store was driven in and
broken into thousand pieces. Two
panes of glass from one window and
one pane from another were smashed
to atoms. The flag pole over the Ma
sonic hall was broken off near the
roof, considerable damage is reported
to have been done to the roof of the
Palace Hotel, the corral wall of the
Surveyor Generals office was blown
down, the coping on the roof of the
house of w. C. Davis was torn off.

The only casualties so far reported
were from flying glass; the most seri-
Gus accident being to the little son of
III. Meneger, living in the south end
of the city. He was struck in the
back near the shoulder blade. The
glass penetrated so deep that it had
to be drawn out by force. One of
